Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga, stage name for Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is a recording artist in New York, United State America (USA). She developed interest in the music industry at an early age as demonstrated by her interest and ability to play the piano while she was 4 years old of age. Later, she joined New York University where she studied music opened up her song writing skills. She composed analytical papers and essays that focused mainly on social issues, politics, religion and arts. Then, she withdrew from school to concentrate more on her career.

Anyhow, there are three quotes from her that I think it is really meaningful to me. "You have to be unique, different and shine in your own way", "Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses" and "Whether life's disabilities, left you outcast, bullied or teased rejoice and love yourself." It is no wonder this lady from a good Italian New York, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer songwriter with a talent or flair for theatrics that she is today, Lady Gaga.

She is openly unique, creative, does not follow stereotypes and more surprisingly she does not care what others think about her and she is doing what she loves to do. She also takes frequent political standings to support her ideals. She is a driving force in today's society and I admire her because she is easy for me to relate to. I find a deep connection to her, in the sense that she shares my personality. The major reason I admire her is the way she expresses herself. She is openly quirky and thrives off the fact that people think so. I relate this because I also like to express myself in a way that most people consider odd. Despite she receives constant criticism, she maintains her pride wisely. The other reason I admire her is the way she takes a stance. She is frequently seen promoting her ideas and supporting various national movements.

...phenomenon, LadyGaga, unless you consider her talent for attracting attention at any cost as well as using theatrics and drama to cover up the truth about her, a critical component of being a temporary musician. Someone who does express the natural experience of fame is Amy Winehouse, who performs for her love of music rather than to please her audience. The difference between LadyGaga and Amy Winehouse is authenticityGaga is a moving target who has escaped serious scrutiny and so it has been over looked that she has appropriated from many other artist, especially Madonna in a way that she essentially pilfers to enhance her identity and public appearance. LadyGagas attitude is demeaning in her claim to be a voice for misfits and freaks and her many ‘inspirational’ quotes. She is completely manufactured, which is easily proven when pointing out Lady Gaga’s original personality Stefani Germanotta and the music she previously performed. Gaga is vulgar in many ways and so becomes an appalling role model for her easily influenced fans. LadyGaga is a manufactured identity and an extremely unsuitable icon for this generation to idolize. Actions and statements made by her prove this and serve as conclusive examples. LadyGaga is contributing considerable to the erosion of this generations social beliefs and...

...The Fame Monster
“I’m beautiful in my way, ‘cause God makes no mistakes, I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way” sings LadyGaga with pride and meaning.
Authenticity is a ‘view’ that individuals can surely feel but it is quite difficult to describe.
Do people think that a certain person is being authentic because they are comparing he or she to the rest of the population? Is there a limit to authenticity? Could someone be ‘too authentic’? How do authentic people deal with their authenticity in there lives? Do they get affected by it? In a good or negative way? Is it safe to be always authentic?
Everyone has their own definition of what it is to be authentic, some would say it is about living the present moment and not focus on the past or future, some others state that it is about knowing yourself to the fullest, when some might point out that it is living your life without filters.
Nowadays, thanks to the armada of advertisements and media, it has become easier for humans to create a superficial life instead of fully accept their own and true identity.
Many people, often young ones, are easily influenced and manipulated into taking a role that does not naturally suit them, in order to blind in the walls of appearances which can sometimes result in negative consequences that we try to avoid by hiding under layers of illusions and to build a life without genuine identity.
The world is thus composed of authentic...

... LadyGaga
More often than not, society will oppose the thought that Pop Star sensation LadyGaga, real name Stefani Joanne Germonatta is a positive role model and there for have no leadership qualities. This I can safely testify against. In my personal opinion and with the facts I have gathered, I will outline in this essay a brief history of LadyGaga, as her past is an extremely important story that clearly highlights why she is the person she is today, her work with politics, her loyal fan base, her brand which her fan base follow (proving she is a leader) and a personal story about myself. My choosing to follow and except Gaga as my leader saved my life.
LadyGaga was born 29th March 1986 in Queens New York City. Her father was a reasonably successful entrepreneur, maintaining the ownership of his IT company for over fifteen years. With this success he could afford to send Gaga to a Sacred Heart Private School in New York’s upper east Manhattan, where Gaga soon found out it was some of the hardest years of her life as “my fellow students were not very nice to me…I remember them picking me up and throwing me in the trash can” (LadyGaga 2012, MTV). Gaga was an outcast, and always considered herself different, usually in the way she dressed, spoke or even the style of...

...Why People Love LadyGaga
People see her clad in either very little or way too much with head gear that was designed to shock and awe. She walks into the room with the confidence of a model, accented by the occasional dance movements that look more like spasms than choreography. This is a day in the life of LadyGaga. If that made her sound like some alien she-beast from the future, one would be wondering how she has acquired millions of fans around the globe that love and adore her. This paper will demystify why people love LadyGaga for everything that she is.
First and foremost, LadyGaga is a singer and a songwriter. Her musical and performance style is yet to be equaled. She takes inspirations from Madonna, Britney Spears, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Queen. Don’t mistake her for just any pop singer: she is the blatant, in-your-face personification of all these artists mixed in with copious amounts of blood, booze, and possibly drugs. Her persona (or rather, personas, since there are simply too many to distinguish) is chock-full of meanings and symbolisms on so many different levels, some of which are more obvious than others. She is all about showing and telling in everything she does. Theatricality is her life.
When people watch her perform, they don’t just get a song, they get the whole show. LadyGaga...

...Love, Love, Love, I Want Your Love
LadyGaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, was raised in a truly Catholic household in New York, 1986. She was taught to believe firmly in her religion, but also to practice tolerance and love for everyone she would come in contact with. When she broke onto the music scene in 2008 with “Just Dance,” she immediately caught the public eye with her outlandish wardrobe, catchy lyrics, and bizarre music videos. When the public heard the life behind the lyrics, however, they were infatuated with her message as well. Gaga is here to perform and spread joy, in the form of music, to her “Little Monsters,” but also to break down the walls of normality and promote acceptance of self and others. With an, “I’m here, I’m queer, get used to it” attitude, she has captured the hearts of many teens and adults alike, and keep us all striving to be a bit more like her.
Germanotta, preferring her star name of LadyGaga, was raised to believe that getting what you want means working hard to make it happen. At each chance she can get, she tries to make this apparent by telling her story. In an interview with New York Entertainment, she states: "I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate [crap] until somebody would listen." She was determined to be a star and to share her dreams with the world. In her words, "I am a feminist and I want to change the...

...Executive Summary
LadyGaga burst onto the music scene in 2008, after being signed on by superstar producer Vincent Herbert of Streamline Records. Young, talented, all out glam rock diva - within her first year she snagged 3 awards at the VMAs. Her spectacular performance heralded the launch of her upcoming collaboration with rap sensation Kanye West – together, they would co-lead a 3 month long, high profile arena tour called the ‘Fame Kills’ tour.
The ‘Fame Kills’ tour was significant for several reasons. It was to be Gaga’s first performance as a co-lead, as opposed to the opening/supporting role she played for bigger stars such as the Pussy Cat Dolls and Natasha Beddingfield. In just a year, she had tied with Beyonce Knowles for the highest number of nominations at the VMAs, and the tour would further establish her as a serious performer with lead ability. Her second album was in development – the tour would provide an invaluable PR opportunity for its promotion. From the music industry perspective, live performances were becoming an increasing source of revenue for all players involved. Concert production, ticketing, and heavy promotion were already underway.
However, disaster struck at the VMAs when her collaborator Kanye West instigated a PR debacle onstage, witnessed by industry fellows and fans all over the world. The episode was severe enough to make him withdraw from the public eye and the tour concerts altogether, leaving...
